The American Irrespective: President Obama's Good News, Bad News, and, More Or Less, Worser News (So Far)

ALL ACCORDING TO OIL: The way it is and/or always was. Still not sure why, maybe just because.

Good News:

The good news is we're moving forward. And, are quite prepared to proceed even further. Provided, of course, unilateral efforts of others, that, till now, exist in a number of equally strategic locations, are accompanied by thoughtful intentions that don't otherwise interfere with the progress till now, and, at least from our perspective, the systematic, never-ending supply of entirely well thought out adjustments, that would seem to already be in the process of an existing game plan, currently up to speed in their own corner of the global field of play. Both at this time, as well as into the most immediate foreseeable future.

Which is where we are now, for better as well as worse. Invariably, at a harsher crossroads that many of us, I'm sure, would care to be at. But one, that rest assured, we must face in order to institute changes that, in the end, will hopefully result in an altogether level of certain progress that is not only attained, but fully sustained, when and wherever it ceases to be detained by forces, currently under the mistaken assumption that such a condition resides further out of our control than previously believed possible, without the expressed written consent of Major League Baseball.

In other words, we're open to any suggestions. And, of course, pride ourselves in being the kind of careful observers that respectfully encourages alternatives to any course of action that will bring about an arrangement that possesses the vision and the clarity that enables all those involved to feel that their uniquely special voices have been both heard, as well as completely understood.

In still other words, we're trying to be fair, willing to be cautious, and hoping to not be dismissed, while still needing to be forever aware, never complacent, and, most importantly, anything but in the middle of whatever has apparently got to get up to get down.

Bad News:

The bad news is we can't go this alone.

In fact, we're so tied up with too much already that, even though it all sort of connects, region-wise, culture-wise, and, for all intents and purposes, evolutionary-wise, as well, we're otherwise occupied, and/or tapped, as they say.

And so, never mind the needle pulling thread, chances are we're just going to have to sit this one out.

For how long, we're not sure. But, at least, during these early, get-to-know-you, meet and greet stages of confrontational grandstanding, originating from either side, we shall not, and will not be the initial side to be called on to help carry the ball, and, in the end, forced to pay most of the freight, as well.
